This week at the iSchool

iSchoolers in the news

Recent Informatics grad Stephen Ramirez has been making an impression at Starbucks. A first-generation college student, Stephen was featured in a story on the University of Washington home page. An internship after his junior year went so well that he went to work there full time after he graduated.

The Seattle Times put its tech spotlight on AnswerDash, a startup born in the iSchool by Ph.D. student Parmit Chilana and iSchool professors Jake Wobbrock and Andrew Ko. AnswerDash has been a hot topic lately, also garnering an infusion of venture capital to help aid its growth.
